We are waiting for a threatened ice storm, but on Wednesday afternoon, the mood over the Colorado river in Austin Texas seems very mellow and warm. Aerial drone panorama of this modern cityscape. And no cranes visible, a first for this city! #Austin #AerialPhotography #BuyIntoArt

Four years ago, I had the idea of creating a short story using pictures/artwork I took/created. The first 4 pages are in my earlier posts.

I've written one of my articles on BackyardImage .com about my attempts to photograph these hummingbirds in Costa Rica. Here is a montage of my favorite images from that shoot.

A white-throated mountaingem hummingbird sits patiently on a twig. But which is the best as a piece of wall art - photo or pencil sketch?

In re Cedar Breaks @gdanmitchell.com

I had planned to go there on a trip to Utah in 2020 (as urged to by @sarahchorn.bsky.social ). But a snowstorm drove me off of the mountain and I never got to go inside. (said snowstorm messed up the rest of planned trip too)

Mood Board – After Light, The Quiet Hour

This mood board invites artists into the quiet hour, where colour deepens, light softens, and creativity slows into something more intentional. It is not about darkness, but about atmosphere, confidence, and thoughtful restraint.

Christmas has certainly come early! A buyer from Oakland, MD bought three large, framed prints of Morgantown last night, the largest being almost 5 feet wide. This is that print, the moon rising over the WVU Hope Coliseum. #Photography #Morgantownwv #AYearForArt

My great grandmother painted for fun. I grew up with one of her paintings – a stand of pine trees weighted down with heavy snow. I’ve always loved that painting so I thought I would create my own version. I hope you enjoy the results!
